For a few minutes anytime that suits during 13-21 May 2018

You’re welcome to modify or embellish these actions – maybe with words or songs or pictures – to suit your setting – classroom, hall, family home, office, club, church, videocall.

Keep in mind that it's a good idea to reach out to other schools in the world - or nearby - and invite them to join you. They in turn might pass things on and encourage even more to enjoy joining in a happy happening.

A sort of basic introduction

Monday 21 May is the United Nations 2018 World Day for Cultural Diversity.  So with many other schools we’re uniting in The Big Reach Out.  Together we’re all going to say and show that we believe in respect, understanding and appreciation of diversity and difference.  We’re also acclaiming all who give time to humanitarian work - helping those in need and being voices for the voiceless.  And as they include Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, we’ll be part of a big wedding gift that they’ll like.

1 WE WANT TO SHOW THE WORLD THAT WE TOO
VALUE AND RESPECT CULTURAL DIVERSITY IN ALL SORTS OF FORMS

We welcome what’s given to us by the differences in people; whether in nationality, race, religion, age, and gender; for example, in school and family and national life, art and literature, politics, music, sport, dress, food, education.

So shall we give everyone in the world a Big “Thank You”, spoken out loud in any language that’s different from our usual one?

YES!!!
